Rocky &
Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete First Season
(1959)
Now here's something you don't see
everyday, Chauncey. It's the complete first season of
one of television's smartest, savviest, and most
subversively funny animated series, ranked by TV
Guide as one of the top 50 series of all time.
Like the animators at Warner Bros.' Termite Terrace
(birthplace of Porky, Daffy, and Bugs), producer Jay
Ward, his partner Bill Scott (the voice of
Bullwinkle), and the cracked writing staff did not
write down to children. The dialogue is witty and
sharply satiric. Characters break the "fourth wall"
between the screen and the audience. They make sly
references to the show's creators and the television
network. They hurl barbs of mass destruction at
Washington, D.C. politicians. And then there are the
godawful puns. This four-disc set contains the series'
first two serial adventures. "Jet Fuel Formula" is a
cold war-era blast, as Rocky (voiced by June Foray,
the Queen of Cartoons) and Bullwinkle frantically race
to re-create a rocket fuel recipe (actually Grandma
Bullwinkle's recipe for mooseberry fudge cake), while
being menaced by those no-goodniks Boris Badenov and
femme fatale Natasha. "Box Top Robbery" reveals that
the basis for the world's economy is not gold and
silver, but cereal box tops.

Rocky &
Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete Second Season
(1959)
Set your WABAC machine for 1960, and
the further misadventures of Rocket J. Squirrel and
Bullwinkle J. Moose, the most illustrious citizens of
Frostbite Falls, MN (population: 48; and that's during
the summer rush). This four-disc set contains seven
full-length serials, several of which loom large in
the Rocky & Bullwinkle canon, including "Upsidasium,"
"Metal Munching Mice," and "Greenpernt Oogle," with
the rare, reclusive oogle bird (sorry, you'll have to
wait until the release of season 3 for the Kirwood
Derby).
